Default sinkholes

Everone needs sinkhole and or catastrophic ground cover insurance (and you probably do already ) if you live anywhere in Central Florida. Because you have one sinkhole, there is no guarantee that it will continue to expand. From what I understand, the engineers check out the depth of the cavern below the interior and exteriors of the houses and the perimeter of the cavern and determine the element of safety, the need for pylons & concrete etc.

In the case of the Cane Garden sinkhole, the engineers, I hear, have determined there is no chance of expansion. What you see is what they got.

Let's hope for no more sinkhole surprises! Thank goodness no one was hurt.
